Flip Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 £15m sounds about right if Tiote is at £20m and Carroll was £35m... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tollemache Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 If you use Carroll's transfer fee as your benchmark then we're looking at a world record for Santon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Terrible today, caught out of position so many times.. At the cost of one of his better attacking performances. It would be nice if the team as whole could meet in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLK Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 News bulletin on TS saying Roma are in for him but we want £15m... If only the money can be re-invested, then I would definitely take the 15 million. Santon is not a good defender. His fault for Reading's first goal and big blame on him for the 2nd too.

TRon Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 If we sign Haidara I expect Santon to be out the door this window. Good footballer but ultimately wasted on the left, and with Debuchy now claiming the right back slot I think he'll be flogged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Starting to question how good this lad is. Thought he could've done a lot better for the equaliser and seems to get caught out of position a lot. Doesn't really offer anything attack wise down the wing either.

Skirge Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I was slated ages ago for saying I am not convinced by him, not as a footballer he has talent but surely as a right winger never as a leftback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yeah that left side was fucking woeful wasn't it, combine Santon's in effectiveness with Jonas who does what exactly? No pace, doesn't run at defenders, can't cross the ball. Combination of the two of them was rubbish down the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he could've done a lot better for the equaliser and seems to get caught out of position a lot. Doesn't really offer anything attack wise down the wing either. Starting to question? Look through this thread - plenty of people saying you can't have a guy at left back that only uses his right foot. Yesterday's non-attempt to tackle for their equaliser was yet another example. It was a simple tackle, block or slide tackle with your left. What we got was a 12 inch jab token gesture with his right as the ball flew past. There are at least five occasions per game that you can spot. This is not the root cause of our problems, but one of many issues which when put together gives us serious problems.

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 he was fine when the defence was well drilled last season, he's probably just suffering and disillusioned like everyone else at the club would not like to see him leave unless we get a daft bid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked really good against Norwich because he had Jonas there protecting him. In fact whenever Jonas has played in front of him even this season he's looked really good.

Plenty if people think he has been our player of the season so far too though, mixed opinions on him on here. Yeah, fair point. To be honest, I'm new to the forum and just assumed that in 240 pages a few people must have pointed out the elephant in the room ;-) I think people see the fact that he's obviously quite a cultured player and his positivity in the final third and it makes it seem like he's had a good season. In my book, if you're playing left back, that's what you should be best at. Not really his fault - it's Pardew's. Pardew was quite happy to play Ryan Taylor there too. I don't get it - it's not like we haven't had a load of time to sign a left back. Long ago we could have switched Santon to RB, signed a LB and had a much more balanced defence without Simpson going awol at RB. I really don't get Pardew - I really thought he looked like he knew what he was doing last season, but I don't see lessons being learned at all. Despite not wanting to get rid of him, my resolve is really crumbling now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
